i would listen to your body more than anything. If you feel like your losing explosiveness or strength, it would probably be beneficial for you to keep up with your strength training.
Myself: If i squat during the season-- Im waay to tight and slow on meet day. I drop them all together and feel great. If you have a break in between meets… like 10 days off… getting a heavy squat workout in would probably be great. Also, it depends on how long your season is. Sounds like its pretty long, thus, making it hard to totally abandon squats/etc.
but i’d listen to your body more than anything. In season is all about feeling good and being ready to go on race day. The training shouldn’t beat you down like it did in the offseason
of course, however, squats have been my primary lift, and i dont think i ever have ten days between meets (i sometimes can have up to 3 a week!). would doing squats postmeets at like 85% likely be harmful to developing top speed?
